More votes indeed. The sad reality is that you might lose even more ground to Visa. At this stage it might be worth to get it on camera somehow or ask those merchants to go on record and take legal actions against Visa. But you likely figured this out already :) Boa sorte ! A outra batalha sera com a justica brasileira.
Plenty of multinationals play "dirty" in Latin America, I've heard similar stories about several other companies here from people that work for smaller, local competitors. That said, I highly doubt that it's a policy of the home office, it's really just the end result of hiring people who get results in the region, in a situation where oversight is difficult to impossible.
Do a search on Chiquita Banana and murder to get some truly horrific actions by companies in Latin America. I'm a little skeptical that the home offices are ignorant.

Do you really want to know how sausages are made? :)
If I'm running a multi-million dollar SausageCo, Inc., then yes, I would very much like to know how the sausages I'm responsible for are made.
As long as there's no major negative attention drawn I'm sure it would be quite easy for VISA to ignore.

Not sure what Chiquita has to do with foreign companies getting used to locally common forms of corruption.

Their corporate headquarters is in Cincinnati, OH and they have gone beyond the local standards corruption in a couple of widely reported ways.

I never said or implied that Chiquita was engaged in local forms of corruption. I asked what Chiquita has to do with OTHER companies engaged in local forms of corruption. Please don't be so dishonest as to continue assigning me claims I did not make.
